1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Pacific Ventures Group, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on October 3, 1986, under the name AOA Corporation. On November 12, 1991, the Company changed its name to American Eagle Group, Inc. On October 22, 2012, the Company changed its name to “Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.”.

The current structure of the Company resulted from a share exchange with Snöbar Holdings, Inc. (“Snöbar Holdings”), which was treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes. On August 14, 2015, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Snöbar Holdings, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Snöbar Holdings’ Class A and Class B common stock in exchange for 22,500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, while simultaneously issuing 2,500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to certain other persons, including for services provided and to a former officer of the Company (the “Share Exchange”).

As the result of the Share Exchange, Snöbar Holdings became the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary and the business of Snöbar Holdings became the Company’s sole business operations and MAS Global Distributors, Inc., a California corporation (“MGD”), became an indirect subsidiary of the Company.

Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company operated as an insurance holding company and through its subsidiaries, which marketed and underwrote specialized property and casualty coverage in the general aviation insurance marketplace. However, in 1997, after selling several of its divisions, the Company’s remaining insurance operations were placed into receivership and the Company ceased operating its insurance business.

Since the Share Exchange represented a change in control of the Company and a change in business operations, the Company’s business operations changed to that of Snöbar Holdings and the discussions of business operations accompanying this filing are solely that of Snöbar Holdings and its affiliates and subsidiaries comprising of Snöbar Trust, International Production Impex Corporation, a California corporation (“IPIC”) , and MGD.

Snöbar Holdings was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 7, 2013. Snöbar Holdings is the trustor and sole beneficiary of Snöbar Trust, a California trust (“Trust”), which was formed in June 1, 2013. The Trust owns 100% of the shares of IPIC, which was formed on August 2, 2001. IPIC is in the business of selling alcohol-infused ice cream and ice-pops and holds all the rights to the liquor licenses to sell such products and trade names “Snöbar”. As such, the Trust holds all ownership interest of IPIC and its liquor licenses, permitting IPIC to sell its product to distributors, with all income, expense, gains and losses rolling up to the Trust, of which Snöbar Holdings is the sole beneficiary. Snöbar Holdings also owns 99.9% of the shares of MGD. MGD is in the business of selling and leasing freezers and providing marketing services. As a result of the foregoing, Snöbar Holdings is the primary beneficiary of all assets, liabilities and any income received from the business of the Trust and IPIC through the Trust and is the parent company of MGD.

The Trust and IPIC are considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and Snöbar Holdings is identified as the primary beneficiary of the Trust and IPIC. Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Snöbar Holdings performs ongoing reassessments of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As the assessment of Snöbar Holdings’ management is that Snöbar Holdings has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s activities (it is responsible for establishing and operating IPIC), and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE and the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE’s economic performance, it was therefore concluded by management that Snöbar Holdings is the primary beneficiary of the Trust and IPIC. As such, the Trust and IPIC were consolidated in the financial statements of Snöbar Holdings since the inception of the Trust, in the case of the Trust, and since the inception of Snöbar Holdings, in the case of IPIC.

On May 1, 2018, Royalty Foods Partners, LLC – a Florida Limited Liability Corporation and a subsidiary of Pacific Ventures Group, Inc. – completed an asset acquisition of San Diego Farmers Outlet, Inc. (SDFO), a California Corporation. San Diego Farmers Outlet was started over thirty-five years ago to provide primarily restaurant customers in southern California’s three largest counties with quality food and produce and does business under the name of Farmers Outlet and San Diego Farmers Outlet.

On December 17, 2019, Seaport Group Enterprises, LLC—a California Limited Liability Corporation and a subsidiary of Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.— completed an asset acquisition of Seaport Meat Company, (Seaport Meat), a California Corporation with over thirty (30) years in business servicing restaurant and retail, and institutional customers in Southern California and Arizona. Seaport Meat is a USDA meat processing plant that supplies quality meats, seafood, dry goods, dairy and produce. Seaport Meat Company built a state-of-the-art food distribution and manufacturing facility in Spring Valley, California their 12,000 square foot facility is HACCP-compliant and is a USDA Licensed processing facility with on-site daily inspections. HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. Having a USDA certified facility allows consumers to be confident that the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the public health agency in the USDA, ensured that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, and correctly labeled and packaged

The Company’s customers range from a wide variety of restaurants, including many well known in Southern CA, to institutions, schools (UCSD, SDSU, etc.) and re-distributors such as US Foods and Sysco as well as to local distributors. They supply wholesale food and restaurant supplies to San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside and offer same day service. In addition, they have clients in Arizona and Colorado that come to their facility to pick up their orders.

Because Seaport Meat Company of America can efficiently add new product lines, they can easily expand the distribution of Pacific Ventures’ San Diego Farmers Outlet and SnoBar product line, thereby accelerating Pacific Ventures’ revenue growth. The combination of a distribution and product company is unique in the San Diego area and will position the company for rapid growth.

They manufacture and wholesale custom processed beef, pork, chicken, lamb, veal and seafood. In addition, they are redistributors of a wide variety of dry goods, frozen foods, disposables and janitorial products. Their sales, distribution and finance processes are very efficient and can be expanded to add new product lines, including fresh produce and dairy

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Snöbar Holdings and its subsidiaries, in which Snöbar Holdings has a controlling voting interest and entities consolidated under the variable interest entities (“VIE”) provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 810 which provides a framework for identifying VIEs and determining when a company should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company, Snöbar Holdings, San Diego Farmers Outlet, MGD, IPIC and the Trust, which was established to hold IPIC, which in turn holds liquor licenses. All inter-company accounts have been eliminated during consolidation. See the discussion in Note 1 above for variable interest entity treatment of the Trust and IPIC.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic steps be followed to recognize revenue: (1) a legally enforceable contract that meets criteria standards as to composition and substance is identified; (2) performance obligations relating to provision of goods or services to the customer are identified; (3) the transaction price, with consideration given to any variable, noncash, or other relevant consideration, is determined; (4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations; and (5) revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer with consideration given, whether that control happens over time or not. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on our management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the collectability of those amounts. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded.

Unearned Revenue

Certain amounts are received pursuant to agreements or contracts and may only be used in the conduct of specified transactions, or the related services are yet to be performed. These amounts are recorded as unearned or deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue in the year/period the related expenses are incurred, or services are performed. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has $0 in deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2021, the Company also had $0 deferred revenue.

Leases

ASC 842, Leases, was required to be adopted for all financial years beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires long term leases (longer than 12 month) to be capitalized with a corresponding liability for the term of the lease and expensed over that term. Currently the Company has 2 long-term leases SDFO & Seaport Meat Company.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company’s shipping costs are all recorded as operating expenses for all periods presented.

Disputed Liabilities

The Company is involved in a variety of disputes, claims, and proceedings concerning its business operations and certain liabilities. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of these matters cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has $0 in disputed liabilities on its balance sheet.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid instruments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has a cash balance of $433,164 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $58,234 on December 31, 2020.

Accounts Receivable

As of June 30, 2021, Accounts Receivable are stated at net realizable value of $1,732,180. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance is calculated based upon the level of past due accounts and the relationship with and financial status of our customers. As of December 31, 2020, the Company wrote off $14,588 of bad debt expense. The Company wrote off $588 of bad debts during the six (6) months ended June 30, 2021, and thus has not set an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost has been determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed, and where necessary, reserves for excess and unusable inventories are recorded. Inventory consists of finished goods and includes ice cream, popsicles and the related packaging materials. As of December 30, 2020, the Company had total inventory assets of $1,216,562 consisting of all of Seaport Meat Company’s inventory assets of fresh and frozen proteins and seafood and all other restaurants supply items. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has $1,407,026 in inventories.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the difference between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share

Income/(loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities. Accordingly, basic and dilutive income/(loss) per common share are the same.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and includes expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing property and equipment. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renovations are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations. The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, as appropriate. The estimated useful lives are as follows: vehicles, five years; office furniture and equipment, three to fifteen years; equipment, three years.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s Identifiable Intangible Assets are as follows:

Intangible Assets

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Trade Name (San Diego Farmers Outlet) $193,000

Trade Name (Seaport Meat) $449,000

Total Goodwill $491,000

Total Intangible Assets $3,349,670

Total Accumulated Amortization 383,569

Management does not believe that there is an impairment as of 2021.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are representative of their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions within the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to limits of approximately $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses regarding its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk of loss on its cash bank accounts.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company considers revenue recognition and the valuation of accounts receivable, allowance for doubtful accounts, and inventory and reserves as its significant accounting policies. Some of these policies require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts in the Company’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

In April 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets”, which permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The ASU is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for it as a service contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-06, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions”, which specifies that, for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a drop down transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted.

In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity-which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application is permitted with the first annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (Public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Our company adopted this pronouncement.

In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements which are not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined these have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

3. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $2,322,502 for the six (6) months ended June 30, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit of $18,230,251 as of June 30, 2021.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company is significantly dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or additional debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

4. INVENTORIES

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had inventory assets for a total of $1,407,026. The Company had inventory assets of $1,216,562 as of December 31, 2020.

5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment on June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, consisted of:

SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciation and Amortization expenses for the six (6) months ended June 30, 2021, was $386,187 compared to $324,022 for the same period of June 30, 2020.

6. ACCRUED EXPENSE

As of June,30, 2021, the Company had accrued expenses of $1,122,626 compared to $902,442, for the year-end December 31, 2020.

7. INCOME TAX

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

General

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 3, 1986, under the name “AOA Corporation”. On October 22, 2012, the Company changed its name to “Pacific Ventures Group, Inc.”. Prior to the Share Exchange described below, the Company operated as an insurance holding company and through its subsidiaries, marketed and underwrote specialized property and casualty coverage in the general aviation insurance marketplace.

The current structure of the Company resulted from a share exchange with Snöbar Holdings, Inc. (“Snöbar”), which was treated as a reverse merger for accounting purposes. On August 14, 2015, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Snöbar Holdings, Inc. (“Snöbar Holdings”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Snöbar Holdings’ Class A and Class B common stock in exchange for 22,500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as issuing 2,500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to certain other persons (the “Share Exchange”). As the result of the Share Exchange, Snöbar Holdings. became the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary and the business of Snöbar Holdings became the Company’s sole business operations. In addition, Snöbar Holdings’ majority owned subsidiary, MAS Global Distributors, Inc., a California corporation (“MGD”), became an indirect subsidiary of the Company.

International Production Impex Corporation, a California corporation (“IPIC”), which was formed on August 2, 2001. IPIC is in the business of selling alcohol-infused ice cream and ice-pops and holds all of the rights to the liquor licenses to sell such products and trade names “SnöBar”. Accordingly, the Trust holds all ownership interest of IPIC and its liquor licenses, permitting IPIC to sell its product to distributors, with all income, expense, gains and losses rolling up to the Trust, of which Snöbar Holdings is the sole beneficiary. Snöbar Holdings also owns 99.9% of the shares of MAS Global Distributors, Inc., a California corporation (“MGD”). As a result of the foregoing structure, Snöbar Holdings is the primary beneficiary of all assets, liabilities and any income received from the business of the Trust and IPIC through the Trust and is the parent company of MGD.

Description of the Business Operations of Snöbar Holdings

Snöbar Holdings is the trustor and sole beneficiary of the Trust. The Trust owns 100% of the shares of IPIC. IPIC is the owner of liquor licenses and the trade name “SnöBar” and is in the business of selling and distributing alcohol-infused ice creams and ice-pops through its distributors. As a result of the foregoing,

IPIC is a food, beverage and alcohol distribution company that is in the business of selling alcohol-infused ice cream and ice-pops and holds all of the rights to the liquor licenses to sell such products and trade names “SnöBar”. IPIC is initially marketing two products: SnöBar alcohol infused ice pops, and SnöBar alcohol infused ice cream and sorbet. SnöBar ice pops are original frozen alcohol beverage bars, similar to popsicles on a stick, but made with premium liquor such as premium tequila and vodka and are currently manufactured in three flavors, Margarita, Cosmopolitan and Mojito. The alcohol freezing technology used to produce these beverage bars can be applied to almost any alcohol type and mixture, presenting significant market potential and an almost unlimited variety of flavors and employment of premium brands. Each ice pop is the equivalent of a full cocktail.

SnöBar ice cream is an additional innovative product that the Company is marketing using proprietary formulas and technology. These products are premium ice cream and sorbets that are distilled spirit cocktails containing up to 15% quality liqueurs and liquors. Currently, there are four flavors available: Brandy Alexander; Brandy Alexander with chocolate chips; Grasshopper; and Pink Squirrel. There are also numerous different liquor ice cream flavors in development in classic ice cream drink styles such as Coffee Liqueur Ice Cream, Piña Colada Sorbet, Sherry Ice Cream, and Strawberry Margarita Sorbet. The product contains ultra-premium dairy and the highest quality of ingredients.

The SnöBar brand is fully trademarked within the USA and is currently seeking worldwide trademark rights.

As of March 31, 2020, Snöbar products are currently being sold in the east coast by our distributor. The Company’s management has been actively constructing an online platform that will allow Snöbar distribution on a national level. Please see “Plan of Operations” below for further detail.

On May 1, 2018, Royalty Foods Partners, LLC – a Florida Limited Liability Corporation and a subsidiary of Pacific Ventures Group, Inc. – completed an asset acquisition of San Diego Farmers Outlet, Inc. (SDFO), a California Corporation. San Diego Farmers Outlet was started over thirty-five years ago to provide primarily restaurant customers in southern California’s three largest counties with quality food and produce and does business under the name of Farmers Outlet and San Diego Farmers Outlet.

On December 17, 2019, the Company completed an asset acquisition of Seaport Meat Company, (Seaport Meat), a California Corporation with over thirty (30) years in business servicing restaurant and retail, and institutional customers in Southern California and Arizona. Seaport Meat is a USDA meat processing plant that supplies quality meats, seafood, dry goods, dairy and produce. Seaport Meat Company built a state-of-the-art food distribution and manufacturing facility in Spring Valley, California their 12,000 square foot facility is HACCP-compliant and is a USDA Licensed processing facility with on-site daily inspections. HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.

Plan of Operations

Snobar

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, Snöbar products are currently being sold in the east coast of United States by the Company’s distributor. The Company’s management has been actively constructing an online platform that will allow Snöbar distribution on a national level. The Company’s platform is complete and ready to “go live” and, with the aim of purchasing inventory as well as increasing sales and marketing efforts.

The Company has recently signed an agreement with a new co-packer to produce and manufacture the Snobar Product Line. The new factory will produce the Snobar Product Line for a reduced price which will allow for greater profitability for the company. The new factory has all of the necessary licensing in place required to manufacture the Snobar Product Line. The company expects to place its first order with the new copacker in 2021. The company will launch the state of California and be looking to expand sales across the nation.

In addition, the Company is planning to offer distribution rights throughout the country which will allow the Snöbar Product Line to expand its footprint very rapidly. The distribution rights will also bring in additional revenue to the Company.

The Company will need to access the capital markets or in order to sustain its operations for the next 12 months. The Company’s plan of action in the next 12 months is to continue development of the Snöbar Product Line and fulfill the current orders that the brand has in hand from the Company’s distributor in South Carolina as well as from other accounts. The Snöbar Product Line will have two fulfillment centers to ship the online orders, one in California to service west of the Mississippi and another fulfillment center in South Carolina to service east of the Mississippi. These fulfillment centers are established and ready to proceed as soon as inventory is purchased.

The Company’s anticipated general and administrative costs can be expected to increase due to additional marketing costs associated with online sales. Specifically, the Company expects to utilize marketing and promotions through social media, radio and other avenues to create more brand awareness. The Company expects to continue to utilize independent contractors and not increase the number of employees.

Seaport Meat Company

Seaport Meat Company, (Seaport Meat), a California Corporation with over thirty (30) years in business servicing restaurant and retail, and institutional customers in Southern California and Arizona. Seaport Meat is a USDA meat processing plant that supplies quality meats, seafood, dry goods, dairy and produce. Seaport Meat Company built a state-of-the-art food distribution and manufacturing facility in Spring Valley, California their 12,000 square foot facility is HACCP-compliant and is a USDA Licensed processing facility with on-site daily inspections. HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. Having a USDA certified facility allows consumers to be confident that the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the public health agency in the USDA, ensured that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, and correctly labeled and packaged

The Company’s customers range from a wide variety of restaurants, including many well known in Southern CA, to institutions, schools (UCSD, SDSU, etc.) and re-distributors such as US Foods and Sysco as well as to local distributors. They supply wholesale food and restaurant supplies to San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside and offer same day service. In addition, they have clients in Arizona and Colorado that come to their facility to pick up their orders.

Because Seaport Meat Company of America can efficiently add new product lines, it is expected that this will expand the distribution of Pacific Ventures’ San Diego Farmers Outlet and SnoBar product line, thereby accelerating Pacific Ventures’ revenue growth. We believe the combination of a distribution and product company is unique in the San Diego area and will position the company for rapid growth.

Seaport Meat Company manufactures and wholesales custom processed beef, pork, chicken, lamb, veal and seafood. In addition, they are redistributors of a wide variety of dry goods, frozen foods, disposables and janitorial products. Their sales, distribution and finance processes are very efficient and can be expanded to add new product lines, including fresh produce and dairy

During 2020, the U.S. foodservice industry faced unprecedented challenges as the COVID-19 pandemic caused substantial disruption across many of our customers’ operations and, in some cases, resulted in permanent closures of restaurants. As a company, we took several actions to increase liquidity, conserve cash, manage working capital, and reduce expenses to align with the decrease in demand.

We also acted quickly to protect the health and safety of our communities by implementing new protocols and enhanced safety measures to protect our frontline associates and customers, many of whom are “essential workers” and unable to work remotely. As we adapted to rapidly changing conditions, we also increased our efforts to stay connected to our current customers and attract new customer.

As the U.S. meat industry experienced meat shortages due to massive outbreaks of COVID-19 and in some cases large facilities were forced to close, meat prices reached an all-time high due to the lack of product and increase in demand. While our competitors choose to pass these increases in price to the customers, Seaport management made a conscious decision to stand by our customers and Seaport lowered our margins to support our customers during the pandemic. By lowering our margins during the second and third quarters Seaport attracted many new customers and won the loyalty of its current customer base.

Seaport was able to maintain the historical average of the prior year’s revenues but did share the burden of the pandemic and incurred a net loss because of this decrease.

During the onset of the pandemic Seaport’s sales staff and management acted quickly to recover any lost revenue due to the massive government mandated shutdown. Some of Seaports largest customers were forced to stay closed for almost a year which include Petco Park the San Diego Padres Stadium, and the SoCal County Fairs. Seaport attracted more business from Hospitals, Nursing Homes, and Naval Bases just to name a few.

Both Seaport Meat Company and Farmers Outlet would like our customers know that we appreciate their loyalty and continued support we were all in this together.

Although the Company has been able to extend the maturity dates as well as repayment terms of a substantial amount of its existing debt, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to further extend such repayments or maturity dates to avoid a default, as such further extension depends on the consent of the holders of such debt. If the Company is unable to make such payments and repayments and unable to extend and delay required payments or maturities of such debt, the holders of such debt will have the right to take legal action seeking enforcement of the debt. If any legal action is taken against it, the Company would face the risk of having to deplete our limited cash resources to defend against such suit or face the entry of a default judgment. In either event, such action would have grave impact on the Company’s operations. The Company’s ability to continue operations will be dependent upon the successful completion of additional long-term or permanent equity financing, the support of creditors and shareholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful, which would in turn significantly affect our ability to be successful in its new business plan. If not, the Company will likely be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. The Company will continue to evaluate its projected expenditures relative to its available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy the Company’s working capital and other cash requirements.

San Diego Farmers Outlet

SDFO covers a large market area servicing Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, which we have estimated to be a $2.5 billion addressable market.

Unlike some larger distributors who make their customers receive products on a day and time convenient to the distributor, SDFO delivers daily and pays attention to what the customer wants. Farmers Outlet added products to meet the needs of restaurants, Hotels, Clubs and bars, Resorts, food trucks and caterers. Free delivery was added to demonstrate that Farmers Outlet had customers interest first in mind.

Farmers Outlet provides a wide array of products to serve customers of all types. However, they do have a niche in providing fresh produce and food products. Farmers Outlet provides specialty produce that the larger distributors do not carry on a daily basis.

Farmers Outlet covers a large market area servicing Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, which we have estimated to be a $2.5 billion addressable market. Farmers Outlet currently services the San Diego territory and has over 125 active customers, and no customer represents more than five percent of Farmers Outlet gross revenues.

The company services customers in high, middle and low-income communities with a specialty in providing food and fresh produce to customers serving small to medium size restaurants of all nationalities, including Chinese, Korean, Mexican, American, Japanese and Thai.

Pacific Ventures intends to expand its business through the acquisition of other food manufacturing and distribution companies that serve the Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego area, thereby combining and expanding upon a combined customer base with an expanding range of products and services.

For the six months period ended June 30, 2020, the Company used cash of $1,188,222 in operating activities, used cash of $35,687 for investing activities and obtained cash of $1,365,047 from financing activities, resulting an increase in cash of $141,139 and a cash balance of $457,096 at the end of such period.

Total current assets as of June 30, 2021, was $3,917,235, while current liabilities were $6,962,527. The Company has incurred an operating loss of $2,322,502 for the six months period ended June 30, 2021, largely due the increase in operating expenses, business expansion and increase in interest and penalty fees. During the six months period ended June 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,230,251. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Changes in the composition of our Notes Payable and Notes Payable-Related Parties are presented in the table below:

Total Notes Payable for related and unrelated parties increased by $2,808,828 from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, from $12,553,706 to $15,362,534 in the six months period ended June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, total stockholders’ equity deficit increased to $12,268,280 from $10,512,919 as of December 31, 2020. Accumulated deficit increased from $16,063,780 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 to $18,230,251 for the six months period ended June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $433,164 (i.e. cash is used to fund operations). The Company does not believe our current cash balances will be sufficient to allow us to fund our operating plan for the next twelve months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations or substantially curtail its drug development activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our principal sources of liquidity in the past have been cash generated by issuing new shares of the Company’s common stock and cash generated from loans to us. In order to be able to achieve our strategic goals, we need to further expand our business and financing activities. To continue to develop our product offerings and generate sales, significant capital has been and will continue to be required. Management intends to fund future operations through additional private or public equity and/or debt offerings. We continue to engage in preliminary discussions with potential investors and broker-dealers, but no terms have been agreed upon. There can be no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any equity financing may be dilutive to existing shareholders. We do not currently have any contractual restrictions on our ability to incur debt and, accordingly we could incur significant amounts of indebtedness to finance operations. Any such indebtedness could contain covenants which would restrict our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed which are described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 13a-15(b), we have carried out an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our management, and the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020. Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective because of the material weaknesses described below, in order to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure (see below for further discussion).We had neither the resources, nor the personnel, to provide an adequate control environment.

Due to our limited resources, the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist on June 30, 2021:

We believe that these material weaknesses primarily related, in part, to our lack of sufficient staff with appropriate training in GAAP and SEC rules and regulations with respect to financial reporting functions, and the lack of robust accounting systems, as well as the lack of sufficient resources to hire such staff and implement these accounting systems.

If and when our financial resources allow, we plan to take a number of actions to correct these material weaknesses including, but not limited to, establishing an audit committee of our Board of Directors comprised of three independent directors, hiring a full-time Chief Financial Officer, adding experienced accounting and financial personnel and retaining third-party consultants to review our internal controls and recommend improvements.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred as of June 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings that have occurred within the past ten years concerning our directors or officers which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one’s participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. The company is not aware of any other legal proceedings except what is listed below.

SGE intends to contest the allegations in the First Amended Cross-Complaint while simultaneously pursing recovery against PNC based on the claims that SGE has alleged in the Complaint.

In the case, plaintiff seeks an award of damages in the sum of $41,168.00. The parties are engaged in ongoing settlement discussions.
